Our stay at Misty and Dan's studio apartment was a perfect location while we were visiting Acadia. After a day of hiking it was so great to come back to the serenity and magnificent views of their property. They were so kind and helpful during our stay and we will definitely stay there again on our next visit to Maine.

We cannot say enough about the great experience that we had spending 4 nights at Misty and Dan Gleason's oceanfront studio cottage. We had great access to hiking Acadia National Park, kayaked Flanders Bay from the Gleason's dock in the mornings (then showered off in a warm, private outdoor shower), ate amazing local seafood and ice cream every day, and regrettably had to leave.

The Gleason's are the most warm, friendly, thoughtful, and accommodating hosts we have had in our multiple year history with VRBO. The cottage is cozy, but well appointed with a beautiful view, great deck, and access to kayaks, bikes, a hammock, and beautiful grounds overlooking the bay. We highly recommend this rental. The hosts are gems and the location is great.

Spent many hours looking for the perfect place to stay in the Acadia area and definitely ended up at the perfect place. The accommodations were exactly what you would expect plus! The place was clean and cozy and be truly heavenly. The hosts were super friendly, hospitable, available to address any possible wants or needs. This was stay was at the end of a 2 week Yankee/New England adventure for us and thanks to Dan and Misty was the best and most memorable part of our vacation. They generously provided local tips and information that made our vacation a special experience! We plan to return.

Dan and Misty have set up an adorable studio apartment above their, detached from the main house’s, two car garage. It has one of the most comfortable king size beds we’ve ever slept in! The dining area is the place to be each morning with a cup of coffee as there is a sliding glass door allowing you to look out over Flanders Bay and watch another beautiful day begin! Their property is huge and neighbors are far enough away that you feel like you have your own private paradise. The tides coming in and out each day were mesmerizing as they have a huge boulder off shore that sat out of the water at low tide and was completely under water at high tide! Dan told me its size was very misleading and so at low tide I walked out to it! 16 feet tall! Kayaks are available to use, along with bikes, an outdoor grill, hammock, and more. Thank you Dan and Misty for all your help before, during, and after our visit!
